One of my parrothead friends is one of the Hurricane Hunters... She sent this: This is the video our pilots captured going into the eye of Felix on one of the passes. The red light is the gear handle which comes on when you reach flight idle. http://www.airshowbuzz.com/videos/view.php?v=9f061057 Very cool! Toward the end...you can see how well defined the eye actually is...Up close and personal! I try to tell her "Thank You" from the bottom of my Coastal dwelling heart...every day...
wow"ballsy" unless the aircraft commander is female then er-ah "gutsy" "ladies and gentleman the captain has turned on the seat belt light please make sure your seat backs are in the full upright position; and tray tables are stowed and locked"eek3eek3eek3 thanks for posting never seen a vid of the "hurricane hunters..."
I dunno T3....Shannon got back from Iraq and immediately went with the Hurricane Hunters....I think she qualifies for "ballsy" .... She said you can fly thru the same one a dozen times, and each times it still sends chills down your spine.....
